In this regard, what would cause a dryer to stop mid cycle?All dryers stop when the door opens or the door switch detects the door opening, so a broken door strike, weak door catch or faulty door switch can cause the dryer to stop mid-cycle. A bad drive motor, failed timer or faulty electronic control board can also stop the dryer before the cycle ends.Secondly, can you stop a tumble dryer mid cycle? Don’t stop a tumble dryer mid-cycle. Don’t stop a tumble dryer mid-cycle. This is because whilst a dryer is running, the fan inside blows air over the element and keeps it at desired temperatures. If you stop a dryer mid way through the drying cycle the fan immediately stops running. Also question is, why would a dryer keep shutting off? Most likely, a thermal overload switch is shutting down the dryer because it’s getting too hot or the motor is overworking. A gas dryer can get too hot if the vent is clogged and, eventually, this can damage the motor. Or the overload switch itself can go bad. The timer can be broken, too.How do you unclog a dryer vent? Pull the dryer away from wall and disconnect the vent from the dryer outlet. Go outside and unscrew the cover from the vent outlet. Vacuum the lint from both ends of the vent line, using a canister vacuum cleaner. Blow lint out of the parts of the line you can’t reach, using a leaf blower.
